She's about to turn 9 in June.

Some of the symptoms are there, she has wet the bed twice in about a month, when that has never really been an issue for her before. She does look pretty scrawny, now that I'm really looking, but she's a little girl, some of them girls literally do look like sticks. Still, sometimes it seems she's hungry when she shouldn't be.

Supposedly, at the doctors, the blood sample they took indicated nothing being wrong, but the urine sample said the opposite. The doctor is having my parents take her to the ER to get more testing done now. I can't imagine how scary that must be for a little kid her age. I feel scared myself. I know there's ways to live a manageable lifestyle with that condition, but it's such a huge lifestyle change, and there's going to be constant worries about what she's intaking and such. Plus, there's the insulin shots, that I know no little kid wants to deal with.

Hope she's okay. Early on in her life, I was watching her every day as I graduated from High School a semester early. She was only 1 and a half at the time, and all those moments together really created this strong bond I have with her. Don't know if this is what paternal instincts feel like.
